Open Source and Linux are very communism-focused. It's very heavy on working together and sharing everything even if that means ruining your ability to make a product in the capitalistic society we actually live in currently. The GPL license essentially forces you to contribute back to the original source. If you disagree with doing that you are seen as Microsoft-incarnate.

Oh, fair enough.
